IGN - 10/10 IGN even gave the GTA IV Editors Choice and followed it up by labeling the game "Masterful".

GameSpot - 10/10 Full marks havent been giev to a agme either xbox or playstation from Gamespot for 7 years. (Tony Hawkes Pro Skater 3). "Grand Theft Auto IV is a game that you simply have to play. The single-player game, which you can still play long after you complete the story, is the series' best by far, and the multiplayer features are good enough that you'll likely have no problem finding people to play with for many months to come."

Game Informer - "There has been much speculation about how large Liberty City is. Liberty City seems to be smaller than San Andreas, now some say it is slightly bigger. Rockstar Games have seemingly said the game is not as big in terms of land mass as San Andreas, however everything is much more detailed, and there'll be no wasted open spaces like the desert".
